Purse

In a fast-paced stream of events through alleys and with a police carall underscored by the Black Eyed Peas song, Where is the Love, we watch the drama unfold and wonder if the young man is stealing or returning the purseuntil the last triumphant moment.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

(Stand Alone Lyrics)
Whats wrong with the world, mama?
People livin like they aint got no mamas.
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama.
Only attracted to things thatll bring the trauma.
Yeah. Madness is what you demonstrate,
And thats exactly how anger works and operates.
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight.
Take control of your mind and meditate.
Let your soul gravitate to the love yall, yall.

People killin, people dying.
Children hurt and hear them cryin?
Can you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?

Beautiful example of honesty!!!

I liked how the kid ran all the way to the next bus stop just to give the bag to the lady

AnonymousDECEMBER 6, 2018
I really like this one because the boy goes running to catch the bus to give the lady her purse.

this is inspiring because most would not take it to her id be one that would take it to her

Austin from VirginiaAUGUST 21, 2014
I also see this as speaking out against judging a book by its cover. Just because the kid looks like a punk rocker doesn't mean he acts like it. Just something I noticed.

Jennifer Benitez from New York AUGUST 18, 2014
I love this commerical but yeah who is the kid in this commerical?

I think this was a good inspirational commercial that tells us more than just about Honesty. It also tells us that people who look scary aren't always who you think they are. I liked this commercial. I rate it 5 star. I'm doing a project on honesty and this really helped. Thanks!

Levy M.Lindo from Tarlac city, PhilippinesJANUARY 12, 2014
so great! i am very glad hat there are people who cares to influence and make a great impact on others. it could actually change lives. thank you so much!!

Celeste from OcalaJANUARY 9, 2014
Beautiful commercial, really made it by using that song. Just very unbelievable he would run to where she was going. Might have been more believable if he gave it to the police. Just an opinion, was an amazing commercial though. The donut part was hilarious.

Alix Black from Aurora ILJANUARY 1, 2014
As a punk Goth kid growing up in small minded suburbia, I get a lot of heat for the way I look, all black clothes, big boots, green, blue and teal hair and tattoos I have 2 say I LOVE THIS AD!!!!!! Thank u so much for putting this out there because my and my friends are some of the most honest, giving, friendly ppl I know but the world judges us for the way we look, but y'all r seeing what's beneath the surface and THATS an awesome value 2 have :) keep it up!

James from Alexandria, VA DECEMBER 27, 2013

Donna from Oak Ridge, TennesseeSEPTEMBER 22, 2013
This morning I used this Honesty Commercial during the Children's Moments in our church worship service.to illustrate my point about being honest. Watching the faces of multiage grouping of children was so rewarding. They got the message. And because the commerical was so well done, the door was opened for further discussions and learning opportunities beyond honesty. Thank you for this positive message in this often negative driven world. This is truly a modern day Parable.

Taylor from MarylandJULY 31, 2013
Just saw this commercial on my tv minutes ago. I thought it was a great commercial about honesty and not only that but judging a book by its cover. You have a boy who is dressed all in black and most people think, oh he's going to take the purse because hes a troubled kid. NOT THE CASE! I really enjoyed this commercial.

CODY from S.C. JULY 28, 2013

I think this is one of the most inspiring videos ever! I watch it almost every week!

Bart from FalconeJULY 6, 2013
I just saw this commercial for the first time, literally moments ago. I've studied story telling in all its forms most of my life and this is as good as it gets. You did in seconds what some movies can't do in hours. You developed the characters to the extent that I want to know about what happened before and after. Not just for the Kid but the Cop and the Woman too. You built true suspense. Not just will the Kid do the right thing, but with the early drive by introduction of the Cop, at the end if he had seen enough, or would he jump to conclusions? Very well written story. But it's the donut, that makes it art. Definitely worthy of a CLEO or any other award. This is me, www.facebook.com/ptbartmanhs

Darla from Ford City, PAJUNE 24, 2013
I love the commercial - it shows you can't judge a person by outward appearance.

I love this video it teaches that honesty is everything and this song goes with the video :)

Bonnie from East Troy, WAPRIL 28, 2013
This is one of my favorite ads. I knew the first time I saw it that boy was going to do the right thing. It helps me have faith in mankind, there are more good people than bad. It's just that we always hear about the bad, not the good. Just yesterday, I saw a young man chase down a lady in the parking lot at Walmart, she had a very full cart and 3 kids in tow, and was making her way back to her car. A large bottle of laundry detergent had fallen off of her cart, and she didn't notice. This young man grabbed it and ran after her and gave it to her. He had piercings, tattoos, the whole lot. As he turned towards me after giving it back, I told him, "Your mama raised you right!" He just shrugged, and said, "no big deal".

Gianna from U.sAPRIL 28, 2013
It made me think of what I would do and how all people should be like that.

I just adore this commercial! The first time I saw it, I got all excited because the boy in it is fiine. But after I watched it, I got even more emotional because it's just so true and powerful. So, needless to say I had to glance away from the other people watching TV with me after the commercial ended, haha!
This is a great commercial, and wish there were more like these out there<3

Paula from Carrollton, TXJANUARY 13, 2013
This message is for Zariah who replied earlier and said she has really bad narcolepsy. I realize that this forum is supposed to be about the commercial but I wanted to reach out to you and tell you about someone who had a major impact on my life. My beloved Aunt Charlotte also had narcolepsy for the majority of her life. Although she wasn't diagnosed until she was at least in her 20's, if not later. What I wanted to tell you is that in spite of Aunt Charlotte's illness, Aunt Charlotte achieved more and impacted more lives than many completely healthy individuals. Aunt Charlotte attended fashion design school. She was a beauty and could've been a model back in the day. She was an accomplished oil painter, Avon lady, visited the homebound at her church, was a room mom at her child's school. I could keep going. I realize that not all cases of narcolepsy are the same. My beloved aunt lived til the age of 82. Let me tell you, she was one hip and happening human being. One couldn't help but to feel better about oneself when one was in her company. Your illness doesn't have to define you. I know I am not you and not in your shoes, but one never knows whose life we may leave a mark upon. I for one was postively influenced by a creative, warm and caring woman who just happened to have narcolepsy. May peace be upon you. Sorry for the long comment.

I love this commercial because it shows us emo kids are not how people stereotype us trouble-makers. I hardly watch tv anymore or hang out with my friends because I always get bullied because I have the worst case of narcolepsy the doctor said he'd seen in 15 years. I have to live my whole life with it and I'm only 13 years old

Jason from IndianaNOVEMBER 8, 2012

The Lady in this commercial is my best friend. I was missing her dearly one day after she moved out of state. I heard her voice suddenly on the TV and HAD to call her. She didn't even know this was being replayed. How inspirational! I LOVE this commercial. Good images and great song.

Kaylie A from Baker city,OrFEBRUARY 3, 2012
I just want to say that my leadership class at my school watches at least 1 of these vids everyday in class...then our awsome teacher Mrs.S asks us to write down the message that we think is what the video is really saying but more of an expanded message like this one:"If you do something kind or honest for somebody you might not always get rewarded physically but you will almost always get rewarded emotionally because if you r kind 2 someine else it makes them and you happy"

Nick from PhoenixJANUARY 31, 2012
Saw this commercial yesterday. It's good to know so many others love it too.

lillian from southview, NYJANUARY 30, 2012
I like how all their commercials are about what you can do better, not what others have to do better. For example, this one doesn't say "don't stereotype" for everybody. It says you specifically be honest.

Jerry D. from Bath. MEJANUARY 28, 2012

been singing the song for days... very nice commercial

chickiechicks from New YorkJANUARY 17, 2012
We really liked the commercial! We thought that he looked kind of creepy and he was going to take the purse. The police thought maybe he was stealing too. But actually, he really was a good guy. The boy went running through alleys and around blocks to get it back to her. The lady, the police and I all learned a lesson!

Rose from CanadaJANUARY 15, 2012
I Live in Canada and I still love this commercial. In a world where most commercials are just to sell things its nice to see ones like this that are trying to help the world. It brightens my day every time I see it. I hope they keep up the good work.

akdaffodil from alaskaJANUARY 11, 2012
It says a lot when I don't care for the messages most rap songs seem to portray....the choice of song for this commercial opened my ears to give them another chance. This message means so much to me, I ask EVERYONE if they have seen it!!!!
Keep up the good work!

Linda from Louisville, KYJANUARY 9, 2012
This is my favorite of all of your fantastic ads. We should all know not to judge based on appearance and the second message: that we should laud others when we see them do the right thing.

Patty from ArizonaJANUARY 5, 2012
The best commercial on TV :)

Jamie from AlabamaDECEMBER 31, 2011
Loved this! Everyone always asumes teenagers do the wrong thing!! And the kid looks like Eli from Degrassi!

Katie from North CarolinaDECEMBER 31, 2011
Love this commercial! My husband and I used to work with a youth group in which some of the kids looked like the kid in this commercial. Which to some people means they "looked like they would steal the purse". However, like the kid on this commercial, I feel that in their heart they would know what is right and return the purse. Always remember that it is what's on the *inside* that counts.

ThatKidInYourClass from New JerseyDECEMBER 27, 2011
I saw this commercial for the first time almost a year ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. I tend to wear a lot of black-- not because I'm depressed but because that's what I like. I've been called Emo and other labels, all of which sound negative. Hopefully, this commercial will make people think twice about stereotyping. Thanks.

katt freeman from princeton wisconsinDECEMBER 11, 2011
i really love this comercial!! when i see it on tv i turn it up because i love the song choice

It's a great commercial! It has all it needs to get its message out there...try to teach our kids right, and have a little more faith in them to do the right thing. Don't pre-judge them. Give them credit for a job well done. It's not always easy for them in this world we, as adults, have set up for them.

Will Hirsch from Chandler ArizonaNOVEMBER 2, 2011
This is a great message! I know a lot of kids who would've stolen the purse. They should watch this video, then maybe they could learn

Benjamin Price from TorontoOCTOBER 26, 2011
When I saw this commercial I was blown away... The young boy looks just like my brother that passed away 10 days before his 20th birthday and that was some thing he would have done! He was always thinking of others. Thank you for honoring his spirit and others like him!

Syaz from MalaysiaOCTOBER 23, 2011
I like this song! I thought the boy wanted to take the purse.

Monique Rosales from Rhode IslandOCTOBER 7, 2011
Excellent message that this brings to our youth, and our society! I love this because it speaks mega-volumes about integrity and values! Thank you for this much needed message!

Deb from MinnesotaOCTOBER 6, 2011
I just love this commercial. Went to the values.com website so I could download to keep in my 'treasures' video clips.

Micaela M from GAOCTOBER 5, 2011
Oh wow! I LOVE this!! whenever i hear the song from another room, i rush over to watch it! Im in love with that cute guy too! <3

MurphtheSurf from St. Louis Mo.SEPTEMBER 28, 2011
They are all there: the punk, the big black lady, the cops....and we KNOW how they will act.....but the message of this little film is that presumptions like this can lead one astray.
The Lady is gracious and grateful.
The Cops don't jump to conclusions.
The Kid is Mr. Good Deed.
Bravo.
I love the bit where the cops recognize the kids action by inviting him into their club..."have a donut." Love it.
Everytime this PSA comes on, I stop and watch it.

Madeline from ATC Montebello, CASEPTEMBER 14, 2011
This shows a great principle HONESTY, pass it on!:)

Fatima from ATC, MontebelloSEPTEMBER 13, 2011
Love the video (and the music is so good too) it would be so nice if everyone was honest even if no one believes in them. [=

J. Jordan from Montebello, CASEPTEMBER 11, 2011
Wish our whole world would be this honest. It starts with me and you.

Jennifer H. from Memphis,TnAUGUST 24, 2011
Wow, he is so fine I hope I'll meet a nice, honest, and cute guy like him one day.

Selena from MichiganAUGUST 23, 2011
Out of all the Pass it On commercials this one is my favorite, not only is the boy SUPER cute but it shows the world that they shouldn't think of teenagers or people who wear all the back clothes and have chains hanging on their belt loops as bad people. Everyone passes judgment because of what people look like when really we have to look at what is in the inside of a person. Plus, the song. I've loved this song for a long time and I've always had an image in my head that we should play this song on every TV and radio in the world to tell people that we need the stop the way we live. It may not be showing all over the world just yet, but it's a great way to start! :)

Ben Dover from MarsAUGUST 20, 2011
My favorite one so far

haleigh. from earth. AUGUST 17, 2011
i don't know why but this commercial really gets to me, not only does the boy makes my heart sink <3 but what he did was great. -fantastic commercial really.

Sedona from TexasAUGUST 17, 2011
Hes SO Pretty <.3 iWanna Marry Him,.

Ashley from northfreedom,WIAUGUST 11, 2011
I instantly fell in love with this commercial. everyone thinks I'm bad just because I wear a lot of black and I only wear pants even when it's 100 degrees out but this video shows that people like me aren't all bad!

Kristine from summerville, SCAUGUST 11, 2011
This commercial is awesome! I <3 the kid who gave that purse back, he's really cute! :) There should definitely be more commercials like this.

Dee from USAAUGUST 6, 2011
OMG he's SOOOO cute!

Orlando from HoustonAUGUST 6, 2011
Why don't we see more in program breaks like this?
It would help our wounded world.

Samsam from VAAUGUST 6, 2011
This commercial is awesome. Though, I doubt the kid is really as he is portrayed in the commercial (meaning the dark clothes ect...) A lot of people these days consider people like me (who wears black chains and has lots of facial piercings) bad people. They stray away when we pass by, they give us looks of utter disgust it's so annoying that they judge a book by its cover! I have a very kind heart despite my looks.

Justa14YearOldGirl from the U.S.AUGUST 6, 2011
This is such a powerful commercial. It's great to finally a teenager on TV doing something GOOD. People always just assume that we're bad news...I hope this helps change that. :)

Melissa from Milwaukee,WIAUGUST 5, 2011
I love this commercial and that guy is so cute!:)

Kira Gray from Kodak, TennesseeAUGUST 4, 2011
This song has always meant so much to me, and I just saw this commercial on tv. Hearing this song with this video made me cry and feel so happy. It means a lot to me. I give major Kudos to the people responsible for this.

Gdel from Lake Powell, AZAUGUST 2, 2011
Great commercial!

Toney from Norman,OKJULY 31, 2011
I'm 14 and this video sent a message to me. It made me change my ways.
I love this video!

Kaylie from KentuckyJULY 31, 2011
This dude is so sweet and cute too!!! I think this can teach all of us humans a very valuable lesson.

Kevin H from Washington DCJULY 28, 2011
This is one of my favorite video commercials. This will inspire young people to be honest in every way in life.

Meghan from Cali ;)JULY 19, 2011
I absolutely love this commercial. People look at me funny when I'm in school because I prefer to dress from head to toe in black often, even when its "hot" out. Haha, then they judge me because of what they see on the outside. I love this because it shows people that you honestly can't judge a book by its cover. :3
Besides, who doesn't love a commercial with a totally cute and adorable guy? Haha. Anybody know who the actor is?

Rockkell from VirginaJULY 13, 2011
I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL...I learned that I shouldn't judge people because of the way they dress and now I have some new friends that I never thought I would have. It's amazing what you can get from a commercial...and parents tell you not to watch TV. LOL

Julius from PhilipinesJULY 11, 2011
This is an honest person who does not take what he didn't own. That is honesty.

Josee D from Cedar Rapids IAJULY 8, 2011
LoL He's Hott:))♥

Rama Belle from Edgewater, New JerseyJUNE 26, 2011
This video is one of the most astounding videos I have ever seen, beleive me. It shows not only honesty, but not to assume the worst about people who dress differently and are unique because they just might suprise you. I enjoyed the video and the message(s) that it gave. Furthermore, the dude is mad gorgeous :)

Salley from South CarolinaJUNE 23, 2011
That boy is super cute, not to mention a good person ( based off of what I have seen). I just wish I knew him! <3

Kiki JayJay from NYJUNE 21, 2011
OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO, I COULD WATCH IT ALL DAY. ONLY IF PEOPLE WERE REALLY LIKE THIS THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE GOD BLESS:}:}:}:}-KIKI
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE, SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE PURSE. HONESTY PASS IT ON- JAYJAY

San28 from AlabamaJUNE 21, 2011
Love the commercial I stop what I'm doing just to watch it.

Pam from VirginiaJUNE 15, 2011
I saw this on t.v. and looked it up online. I always liked the song ever since I saw a gal do it with ASL American Sign Language. A very good and powerful commercial. The humor at the end with the doughnut was cute.

OhI'mJustAGirlInTheWorld from my laptop ;)JUNE 11, 2011
I'm 13 and I LOVE this commercial. Especially because I know tons of guys who look just like this kid. They're all great guys, but everyone just assumes because of the way they dress or the music they listen to, they're automatically bad people. But this kid totally changes that opinion for tons of people. And he's pretty cute too...

Denise R from Ewa Beac,. HIJUNE 7, 2011
I am so happy that they put an EMO kid in this video, my son and all his friends are EMO and they are a great bunch of kids and all very nice and respectful. People tend to judge them harshly because of their style, which is a shame, if they only knew them as the people they are things would be so much better. This was a great video-the kid is very handsome-I for one love the style even if I am too old to be EMO. The other posts from the girls are pretty fun to read, turns out lots of girls think EMO boys are hot, thanks for making this video the way that you did, I think this will really reach out to the EMO kids.

Mandi from New JerseyJUNE 5, 2011
I just saw this video on TV

Jakub from GermanyJUNE 4, 2011
I like it!

Mel from New YorkJUNE 4, 2011
This is awesome!! The boy is very cute also.. who is he?? Lol anyway I love it.

Juliette Ariel from New YorkJUNE 1, 2011
PS: He is SOOOOO HOT!!!!

Juliette Ariel from New YorkJUNE 1, 2011
I am working on a book called Scars starring an emo kid and when they make it into a movie I want HIM starring in it as Ryan Lautner a 17 year old drug/alcohol addict who gets into a series of trouble with a lot of girls. . .

Bre from ColumbiaMAY 31, 2011
This is the best video you can put online!!!!

Daniel Nelson from CypressMAY 28, 2011
I wish the world was like this, it would make the world a much better place to live. I had that opportunity the other day to return a drivers license and I'm so glad I returned it, it made me feel good inside, and it helped the person a lot. We should all help each other out, we're all humans!

Maude from Los AngelesMAY 28, 2011
He's Cute:)

Christa from PennsylvaniaMAY 26, 2011
I really enjoy all of the values commercials, but this is definitely one of my favorites. I always stop to watch it, when I hear it come on TV. Thanks so much to those involved for such a wonderful job.
We really do teach by example and you never know when someone's watching you from afar, so let your actions be good and speak for themselves.

Alexa from New JerseyMAY 20, 2011
I love this commercial so much! If only people were actually like this in real life. Not to mention this kid is adorable! I watch this commercial every day, and it just keeps getting better! The guy reminds me of Munro Chambers character on Degrassi too. But seriously I wish I met a guy that was this nice in real life.

Hye from MDMAY 15, 2011
I just watched this commercial on TV and kinda "fell in love" with it :D
This just became my favorite commercial!

Edward from Brooklyn New YorkMAY 10, 2011
I love this one, is one of my favorites.

Gabi V. from Mississauga, Ont.MAY 3, 2011
I just love this commercial. The music, the young boy, the cops, everything. As someone else said, the woman should at the least have given the kid a hug. Cop and donuts... nice touch. This commercial truly brings a small lump to my throat. When I hear the music come on, I stop whatever I'm doing so I can watch it.

Karina from ConnecticutMAY 1, 2011
I love this commercial sooo much ! I watch it almost everyday and the boy is awesomely HOT ! He looks a little bit like Nick Jonas but way cuter!

Amanda from USAPRIL 30, 2011
Hi, I love this commercial! It teaches an important lesson about honesty and the boy is way hot! Keep making commercials like this!

Cody H. from ColoradoAPRIL 25, 2011
This is very inspiring! I hope this sends a message to people that if this ever happens, they will do same as the kid in the video did :)

Ashley F from ArizonaAPRIL 24, 2011
I absolutely love this commercial! It's really great! It inspires kids to do the right thing! Being a kid myself that's good! plus the boy is really cute! bonus!

angie lopes from CaliforniaAPRIL 18, 2011
Great commercial. I hope someone puts the kid in movies or something:)

Grace C. from CaliforniaAPRIL 11, 2011
I would do that sort of thing.

Grace C. from CaliforniaAPRIL 10, 2011
I wish only good people like that were still in this world. Then the world wouldn't be so hopeless.

Grace C. from CaliforniaAPRIL 9, 2011
I love this video! I watch it almost every day! :)

Emily from MassachusettsAPRIL 8, 2011
I love this commercial it has a great message I also think the boy is adorable.

Sasha from USAAPRIL 7, 2011
WOW I love this video. I love the song it's called, "Where is the Love".

Marco from BrazilAPRIL 3, 2011
Fortunately, there are still lots of good people in the world.

Sara from North CarolinaAPRIL 2, 2011
I love this commercial! And I also love the song that plays. Finally figured out what song it was! And, yes, like many other comments on this page, who is the boy? I just want to know. But anyway, absolutely love this commercial, as well as the others. Keep it up! I love them!

Daylee from TRAMARCH 22, 2011
It was very touching and it shows that no matter who you are, people can be trusted.

Ali C from Spokane, WAMARCH 22, 2011
I'm so thankful that you show positive actions like this. I am a former corrections officer and my trust in people has definitely diminished. This helps rebuild my trust in the human race.

Barbara S. from North Vernon, INMARCH 21, 2011
I really like the message of this commercial,who is the cute kid? I try to catch this whenever it comes on.

Maddie from West VirginiaMARCH 19, 2011
I love this video so much! It is my favorite commercial. I video taped it and watch it every day, all day long. Plus the boy is super cute and it teaches me to make the right choices. Please...... keep it up and keep making more videos like this!

Envy from TexasMARCH 19, 2011
I love it! There was no reason to assume that he was a bad person because of his attire and that was very honest and nice to do that because somebody could have stolen that lady's purse but he did the honest thing.

Sabrina from Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYCMARCH 18, 2011
GREAT video!! Wonderful message about honesty, kindness, not judging a book by its cover, making the extra effort for a stranger and helping to make our community a better place to live. This is what our volunteer mentors "Bigs" instill in our kids "Littles"

Karina from NYMARCH 8, 2011
I hope one day I forget my purse and a cute boy brings it back to me and doesn't steal it!

Bianca from CaliforniaMARCH 6, 2011
Very Good!!! I Like The Way You Guys Used A Rocker Because Many People Consider Us Rockers As The Rebels, the Numskulls And This Lets People Know That We're Honest And Polite Just Like Everybody Else:) I Loved The Video A lot It's One Of The Best Pass It On Videos.. In My Opinion.

Erica C from Paterson NJMARCH 4, 2011
This is the best video in the world people should be watching this more often. This is my favorite song and I love it. That boy is cute too!

Jen from West VirginiaMARCH 4, 2011
Such a great message. It is now my favorite video because it shows that you can't judge a book by its cover!!! This is something POSITIVE that kids should be watching on television!

Teacher from MontevideoFEBRUARY 21, 2011
Great examples to teach! Thanks!

Jimmy Dee from Amite, La.FEBRUARY 14, 2011

Ruth from Carson City, NVFEBRUARY 9, 2011
Compassion and caring for others - just what the whole world needs. Very touching and inspiring commercial!

Sara keith from Morristown N.JFEBRUARY 7, 2011
I really like this video! It makes you feel that there is hope for this world to see a honest young man doing the right thing. This young man may dress and look different but he shows great integrity. Good for you.

Janny from Ontario, CanadaFEBRUARY 6, 2011
These 'Life Lessons' are so eloquently and simply illustrated that they leave a lasting impact on the heart and mind. This new commercial is as wonderful as all the other ones your organization has produced. Thank you for providing such positive messages for all to see and hopefully to emulate. I also love receiving the "Quote of the Day" to inspire and uplift me every morning!

Eva M from HonoluluFEBRUARY 5, 2011
Who says kids are all growing up without values?

Debra from Rex, GAFEBRUARY 5, 2011
Wouldn't stop until I found you - this spot said so much in such a short time, you may never realize how many lives will be positively impacted! Keep 'em coming!

Angie from ArizonaFEBRUARY 5, 2011
I love this song. I am in 6th grade and every night when I'm watching the "Nanny",this commercial comes on and I love it. I am in chorus at school and I recommended this song for our Peace Concert. Well done.

Nicole from HondurasJANUARY 29, 2011

Theresa Phillips from Morrisdale,PAJANUARY 28, 2011

Kathy J. from Mt. Gilead, OHJANUARY 26, 2011
The commercials that are now on tv are the greatest! They are like the Hallmark commercials, I can't leave the room while they are on. Keep up the good work. PLEASE!

gillian Krantz from vancouver British Columbia CanadaJANUARY 26, 2011
This is what the virtuesproject.com teaches.
HOwever the woman and the police would have acknowledged the young man by saying, "I see your honesty and helpfulness by returning the purse."
They would acknowledge the virtues they saw in the young man.

Amy S. from New York, NYJANUARY 22, 2011
Love it! And I like the fact you are showing blacks and whites getting along, as well as what seems to be a "punk" kid doing something value oriented. Well done.

Peter Ong from SingaporeJANUARY 21, 2011
Will show this to my boys! Thanks!

Bill, L from Champaign, ILJANUARY 20, 2011
Love this... Absolutely love and support (& believe) in all that you do!!!

Darryl B from Tallahassee, FLJANUARY 20, 2011
Great commercial!

Josafa C from BrazilJANUARY 20, 2011
I hope a Portuguese version will be available soon. Very inspiring!

Maryeileen, L from Wilkes Barre PAJANUARY 19, 2011
A wonderful and inspiring commercial. It shows that we all have a choice in everything we encounter. You can choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing. Also it shows that we should not judge people by their appearances.

Larry K from Plattsmouth, NeJANUARY 18, 2011
You keep telling a kid he is bad and chances are he might end up that way.
You show the good in him and he will strive to prove you right.
Someone once told me when I was 20 years old instead of looking for the bad in other people look for the good in yourself. you will find life will be a lot easier. I have tried to live my life by those words.I believe every kid in school should view this video.What an inspiration that would be.

Laurel S from Wauconda ilJANUARY 17, 2011
I am so moved buy each and every clip. Thank You sooooo much!

Tina from OnJANUARY 16, 2011
Love this commercial, Good meaning and good choice of song. Gets my attention every time I see it.
P.S "Emo" Kid very ccute!!

Sharon H from Mineral,VaJANUARY 14, 2011
I found out the artist that sings the song in this commercial. It is called Where Is The Love? by Black Eyed Peas.

Sharon H from Mineral, VaJANUARY 14, 2011
I love this commercial so much. I also like the song. I would also like to know who sings it. I would love to hear the whole thing. The boy that is in the commercial reminds me of the kids that I see at school everyday.

Andrew B from DCJANUARY 12, 2011
This is a beautiful Idea that shows the good in all of us.
I was wondering, is the music and lyrics part of a song...if so where can I find it.
Cheers,
Drew

sarah R from temecula caJANUARY 12, 2011
Wow,This video is so awesome,it warmed my heart to see someone do that for an elder,and especially teen.That was true thoughtfulness,and integrity on his part.I think more people and teens around the world need to take a stand and do what this kid did,because we need more of this in this day and age

James B. from DetroitJANUARY 10, 2011
I saw the first half of this commercial, and searched for days to find it. I wanted to see the ending and what it was marketing. I showed it to my school at an assembly and they all loved it too.

Amber E. from Temecula, CAJANUARY 9, 2011
Out of all the commercials this one is my favorite. I wish everyone was like this. And I agree with everyone when I ask who is that?

Julie P. from New York JANUARY 9, 2011
Is the guy emo... cause I am and this video is inspirational I love it. What's the guy's name?!

Julie P. from new YorkJANUARY 9, 2011
Who's the guy! The whole reason I came on this website.

Leslie L. from Phoenix, AZJANUARY 8, 2011
The kid is super cute!
And the video is really awesome, especially with the music <3

That was so cool how he did that for some lady!

Cassandra D. from San DiegoJANUARY 7, 2011
I love this commercial so much! Thanks for keeping values in peoples lives.

Star E. from Denver,ColoradoJANUARY 7, 2011
Wow, I thought he was going to steal it, such a nice guy. But, I know why some (most) of us came here, "who is that? what's is his name?!"

Pascal, V from San Francisco, CAJANUARY 5, 2011
Nicely put together video I liked the unexpected twist at the end. Especially since the guy at first looks kind of scary. What is wrong with the world Mama?

Meghan, S from CanadaJANUARY 5, 2011
I really like this commericial a lot!

A Bair from Hot Springs, ArkansasJANUARY 5, 2011
There are still a few good people in the world. If they will just teach some of the rest. Amen.

Brittany, F from Loserville, TXJANUARY 4, 2011
Who is the hot guy?!?!? I really wanna friend him on Facebook. That commercial was really moving!!!!!!!

Hannah S from New YorkJANUARY 3, 2011
The guy is really hot. This commercial almost brought me to tears. I keep showing it to people. I love the honesty and stereotyping message, since I know as a teenager, young people do get stereotyped. Thank you

Rachel A. from Denver, COJANUARY 3, 2011
The song is "Where Is The Love" by the Black Eyed Peas.

Talaya G from Piedmont,South CarolinaJANUARY 3, 2011
I think this video shows how honest people are and how us young people are reflective on what we do and how we go far fetch on things.
14yrs old (one of my fav ones by the way)

Skyler B from San DiegoJANUARY 3, 2011
Who's the boy in the commercial?

Tangela M. from MiamiJANUARY 2, 2011
This commercial made me smile with tears.

Josh S from Jerseyville, ILJANUARY 2, 2011
Like the video. Does anybody know the the name of the song?

AnnaKarrin, M from Winchester, KYJANUARY 1, 2011
And the amazing thing is, most likely, this kid wasn't judged very well based on appearance. But it shows how good a person can really be.

Virginia H from SpringfieldJANUARY 1, 2011
Who's the young actor in this?

Kanye W from SeattleJANUARY 1, 2011
Man your commercials actually make you stop and think about what you can do yourself. Good work!

Andrew R from California, MDDECEMBER 31, 2010
Love. Who sings that song in the background?

Kaila C. from Lakewood, OHDECEMBER 31, 2010
I like how this shows not to stereotype people. (I know that's not the main message to it.) I'm happy that I saw this it first caught my eye today when I saw it on T.V because the boy is cute. ^.^ I'm glad I saw it though!

Bill A from St. Louis, MoDECEMBER 31, 2010
What is the name of the song for purse TV spot?

Sam. T from the 909DECEMBER 31, 2010
The boy in this commercial is so hot!

Micaela S. from Sanford, FloridaDECEMBER 30, 2010
That kid is so hot! I'm going to do the same.

Nickie V from La Feria, TexasDECEMBER 30, 2010
I think this commercial is exceptional and I was really moved by the act of kindness, an act no one should hesitate at performing. I'm left wondering who portrays this exceptional young man, I wonder if he's credited in any more well developed roles. Just a thought.

Sally C from RiversideDECEMBER 29, 2010
I even love the end when he gets a donut from the police....nice touch.

Gabby J from Huntsville, ALDECEMBER 29, 2010
I love this commercial, it inspires me to do good things!

Sarah H. from U.S.DECEMBER 27, 2010
Like this message... it caught my attention while skipping the commercials on TV and that's how I ended up watching it.
Like soundtrack but what's with the donut??
